What Is an ATS? (Applicant Tracking System)

Have you ever heard of an ATS? Because an ATS may be what is stopping you landing the job of your dreams!

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System which is a piece of software designed to save employers time by automatically scanning your Resume/CV for keywords; it’s basically a giant filter. If your Resume/CV doesn’t use specific keywords in the correct sequence and position, you’ll be rejected by the software before your Resume/CV even comes into contact with a real life person.

Every recruiter has a different software, but the process is more or less the same, the first stage of ATS basically scans the resume and pulls information, stage two is determined by the user (employer) they set criteria to search for keywords which can include technical skills, descriptions of experience etc. so as you can imagine stage two is difficult for anyone to assess and provide 100% foolproof compatibility.

Our professional Resume/CV writers will use their knowledge of the ATS software and recruitment industry, combined with first class writing skills, to make sure that you get noticed. What we do is put in keywords that cover most recruiters software, and we know the right keywords to put for your industry/profession.
